Imagine snowshoeing along frozen rivers, following reindeer tracks through primeval forests or bunking down in a hunter’s lodge, our winter holidays give you the opportunity to embrace the beauty and tranquility of snowy landscapes while enjoying exhilarating activities.

Finland is home to fairytale scenery and vibrant culture and is a popular destination for winter trips. Experience the thrill of snowmobiling through snow-dusted forests and across frozen lakes as you immerse yourself in the serenity of the vast wilderness.

For anyone seeking a more challenging adventure, the Dolomites in Italy provide a stunning backdrop for cross-country skiing. Glide through pristine snow-covered meadows and forests while taking in the immense mountain vistas and explore the wide variety of trails that wind among rugged peaks.

One of the most awe-inspiring spectacles of the winter season can be witnessed in Iceland – the Northern Lights. This mesmerising dance of colourful lights illuminating the night sky captivates visitors from around the world. The Aurora can also be witnessed in the Arctic Circle, where the sky comes alive with neon lights in shades of green, pink and purple.

All our winter holidays provide you with perfect opportunities to explore a variety of activities among awe-inspiring destinations around the world. Whether you choose to go husky sledding through the glistening Finnish forests or cross-country skiing in the mighty Dolomites, every experience will bring you closer to nature and let you delve further into the culture, history and traditions of each destination you visit.

“What springs to mind about winter trips is always the magical scenery of snowy trees and extraordinary activities in untouched landscape. For me, nothing beats experiencing the unique atmosphere of each place, whether it’s hearing the squeaking snow under my snowshoes on top of the Dolomites or feeling a pack of huskies pull my sled in Finland.”

A whole week’s worth of “things I’ve never done before” experiences! A wide variety of winter-oriented activities, each of them special in their own right. Basecamp provided some great accomodations (both food and lodging) and the guides were first class. Strongly recommend for anyone who is looking for a winter getaway. I have been on six adventure-oriented trips with a travel group and this was my favorite one.

Mark Bershatsky Finnish Wilderness Week

A fantastic trip, where I became bored with hearing myself use the word magical.
Great setting, fabulous activities, super guides and instruction, wonderful company, good food and accommodation and the Aurora to boot. What was not to like?

Gail Hopper Finnish Wilderness Week

Wow! If it’s adventure you are after, then you’ve come to the right place. Iceland has so much to offer, not only the Northern Lights. There are glacier hikes, caving, surfing, whale watching to name a few activities in Iceland. For the not so physical, there are beautiful waterfalls and amazing landscapes that are breathtaking to say the least. If you have never been to Iceland and you’re contemplating it, do it! You won’t regret it.
